At one point they need to open the CE vendor to everyone. How is another question. Maybe as a reward for something stellar ingame, or an upgrade to the account that brings it on par to CE or something. But forever producing new content for a very limited part of the playerbase is stupid.

Also, why the hell would I buy ths thing without having access to the vendor in the first place? I suspect they are thinking about ways to opening it to other players.

you do realize we wont have a stream of shit put onto our vendors as the game patches are released right? we can only buy what Bioware initially already placed onto the vendor .. the only time you will even see a new item added to the vendor would most likely be with a new Expansion CE.

I can care less about the lounge even being in the game, the only reason people by CE copies of any game is to get the unique vanity items that you given or able to get in the game ... if you didnt want to get the CE or DD edition of the game for the vanity items why do many people feel like they need to just magically make it available to those who would of much rather purchase the game at regular price?

I agree and my statement is more aimed at CE's pissed that anyone can gain access to the lounge. I do feel the vendor should stay CE specific as the items are purely cosmetic and that is what CE rewards should be about. But many CE's are bitching they dont want any non CE to even have access to the lounge which is just plain silly for many reasons and Im really tired of hearing the money excuse as if the physical items had nothing to do with the actual CE cost.

as a CE owner myself i could careless if everybody has access to the lounge, its just like a nightclub.You got the cover charge come on in, BUT I did pay the CE price for the vendor and think that it should STAY CE because THATS what i paid the extra money for could careless bout the statue(but do want the journal and soundtrack). to give access to everybody would make my purchase meaningless.

Just because you placed the value of the $90 extra dollars on digital trinkets you could hold over other people dosn't mean that's actually what all that money went towards.

I am sorry but when BW put Exclusive Collector’s Edition Store up on their Pre-Order FAQ THATS the reason why I ordered the CE edition. If you did not want the CE edition then you did not want access to the CE store. I as stated in a earlier post I could careless bout the physical stuff i PAID for the CE STORE, if everybody els did not then dhey do not have right to the store.

ou guys want into the Lounge GO FOR it from some screens i saw it looks awsome to hang out in, but leave the CE STORE out of it. you did not pay for it you do not get it.

Collector’s Edition Store. At launch the Collector’s Edition Store will be available to those who have the Collector’s Edition of The Old Republic, and will feature items found nowhere else in the game! The Collector’s Edition will be stocked with exclusive social items for yourself, and unique appearances for your companion. The store will also have regular updates to give players incentive to keep coming back.

My own suspicion is that the Universe is not only queerer than we suppose, but queerer than we can suppose.

I bought the CE and I'm perfectly okay with this. I didn't buy it to show off to anyone else, I bought it for me. By the time the game has been out for a couple of months to a year, most will have moved passed the awe of the VIP lounge any way. I know I probably won't even step foot in there.

I wish I could afford the CE. Not because of the vendor or lounge area. But what is inside the box. True SW fans bought CE to support the game and the physical items beacuse those are the items you can proudly display on your collection. Wannabe SW fans bought it for the sparkly ingame cosmetic items beacause they can flex their e-peens.

The problem with the internet is parallel to its greatest achievement: it has given the little man an outlet where he can be heard. Most of the time however, the little man is a little man because he is not worth hearing.

Now, if they had given a free 1 million with the digital deluxe I'd of bought it, but honestly access to a silly lounge people? I'm amazed by how upset some people can get over something so trivial. If anyone bought the CE just for the lounge I pity the fool.

Myeh, as a CE preorder, I'm actually very happy that other people will be getting into the lounge. This is mostly because my GF who I plan to play with, did NOT order the CE, but has an amazing ability to make stupid amount of money fast in MMO's... I don't ask how she does it.. I think it's best I don't know...

But now she'll be able to join me while I chill in the lounge all good in the hood.
